Han counter current

On the other side, on the north bank of the Yangtze River, Gongsun Xu took over the entire government affairs of Jingzhou, and the power in the army was shared by Pound and Yan. The Habayashi Army prepares.

At the same time, Chen Feng quickly promoted the Jiupin Zhongzheng System in the north and the Central Plains, intending to regain the power that belonged to the imperial court from the remaining families in the north in the shortest possible time.

Moreover, Chen Feng also wants to use this opportunity to promote his own imperial examination system. Although he has made efforts in this area before, but now that the territory is large, the remaining aristocratic families almost all join forces to resist the imperial examination system, and Chen Feng dare not do it Too much.

Naturally, in order to get something, something has to be given first.In order to appease those aristocratic families, Chen Feng once again resorted to the method of wooing a group and suppressing a group.

Families who were familiar with him, Chen Feng promised them more benefits on the Silk Road, and at the same time reiterated that he would use the Yongliang army to protect the caravan. In this way, those aristocratic families who valued business quickly compromised.

Especially those aristocratic families who lost most of their property during the war and failed to stand up well, responded to Chen Feng's call in the shortest possible time and were willing to be Chen Feng's lackeys.

For example, the Mi family in Xuzhou, the Guo family in Jizhou, the Chen family in Runan, the Ma family in Xiliang, etc., plus Chen Feng's generals basically control the power in the army, even if some people continue to object, there will be no big waves .

Besides, even aristocratic families have to eat.The benefits on the Silk Road are so attractive, but they are all controlled by Chen Feng. If anyone continues to offend Chen Feng, it is impossible to obtain these benefits.

"Everyone earns money, and whoever blocks our way to make money, we will find a way to kill him."

These are the original words Chen Feng said to his lackeys, and they also highly agree with them.

After three months of stalemate, the last families also began to compromise.Because the interests on the Silk Road are so great that they have to put down their dignity.

For example, the Mi family in Xuzhou, which had been completely in decline, borrowed a sum of capital from Chen Feng because of being Chen Feng's lackey, and the Mi merchant himself was very good at doing business.

As a result, after traveling between Chang'an and the Western Regions like this, the merchants turned around, not only repaid the loans, but also bought back the old Xuzhou house, and at the same time prepared a group of caravans to go to the Western Regions.

You know, this is only one trip, and the Mi merchant can get such a huge benefit. If he is allowed to do this every year, then his Mi family will not be rich.

The first to benefit is naturally the aristocratic family of Chen Feng's loyal generals. They originally wanted to control the interests of the Silk Road with Chen Feng and exclude outsiders from intervening.

But after Chen Feng's persuasion, they had to make concessions for the sake of the overall situation.The ridiculous thing is that there are always some people who can't see the profit in it and give up voluntarily. This makes Chen Feng's generals feel a little comforted while ridiculing.

After several months of hard work, the aristocratic families from all over the world have figured out Chen Feng's temper. As long as you have a good relationship with him, he will help you make money. If you are right with him, he will let your family go to ruin.

After being accepted by most of the aristocratic families, Chen Feng began to attack the land.Xiliang, Bingzhou, and Youzhou are okay to say, after all, they are relatively poor, and the land of aristocratic families has also been cleared and basically taken back by Chen Feng, but the Central Plains is different from other places in Hebei, Chen Feng has to do it slowly.

The north is busy with development, and Jiangdong is also working hard to restore its strength. It is the most stable time right now, but there is such a place that is still a bit noisy now.

Xu Huang commanded more than [-] soldiers and horses in Jingnan. Except for the soldiers who stayed in the towns, he could probably use [-] soldiers. On the other side of Wuling, Sima Yi had more than [-] soldiers, no less than [-] elite, and he had the advantage of the city. It was really difficult for Xu Huang to defeat him.

Just because he knew the opponent's strength, and Xu Huang was under a lot of pressure now, he didn't dare to attack rashly.Chen Feng dispatched Xu Shu as his military adviser, Ma Dai as the deputy general, and Pang Rou as the vanguard, which can be regarded as a high configuration, but Xu Huang still dealt with it carefully.

On Jingnan's side, besides Xu Huang, there is a group of people hiding in the darkness, always watching Sima Yi's situation. They are like ghosts in the dark night, they will appear at any time to claim other people's lives, but no one knows. their presence.

Chapter 827 Sima's Worry 2

Sima Yi's talent can be regarded as top-notch in the current world. After all, he is an outstanding child cultivated by the Sima family. Coupled with these years of experience, his ability and deep-seated heart are unmatched by others.

As early as when Chen Dao was besieged and Mi Shang invited him to send troops, he was making final preparations for his retreat.From the moment he learned that Liu Bei was killed, he became more determined to lead his army into Shu.

However, before he could contact his partners in Yizhou, and before he could lay the groundwork, Chen Dao and Mi Shang were defeated one after another, and were soon persuaded to surrender.

This was beyond Sima Yi's expectations. At the beginning, he was very supportive of Chen Dao and the others fighting against Chen Feng's troops. Only in this way could he be given more time.

Leading an army into Shu is not just a matter that can be solved by leaving with all the horses, food and grass. After arriving in Jingzhou, Sima Yi has heard people mention names such as crouching dragon and phoenix many times. He also understands a truth. If you want to be famous, you have to create momentum first.

If not, no matter how talented Sima Yi is, how many of the world's princes really understand him?What's more, although Sima Yi is the most outstanding son of the Sima family, his reputation is not enough, so building momentum is necessary.

During this period of time, Sima Yi has sent people to go deep into Yizhou area.Either giving gifts to make friends, or pretending to be auspicious as a foreshadowing, or promoting Sima Yi's name to increase his popularity.

But Sima Yi and his staff used all the means that Sima Yi and his staff could think of in Yizhou. Even in order to choose a place to settle down as soon as possible, Sima Yi was trying to find a way to contact the leaders of the Nanman in Yizhou.

"Fame, oh reputation, in the past with the assistance of the family power, and under the watchful eye of the Cao clan, we had to keep a low profile. Later, people only knew the name of Sima Bada, but few people knew how powerful I was, Sima Yi.

Hmph, crouching dragons and phoenix chicks are all just bragging. In terms of talent and strength, how can I be inferior to Zhuge Liang? Fortunately, I don’t have deep entanglements with Liu Bei. As long as I am willing to lower my stance, entering Shu should not be a big problem .

Right now, the only way to retreat safely is to trap Xu Huang first.However, after entering Shu, he had to keep a low profile for a while, but right now he couldn't completely annihilate Xu Huang's troops, otherwise he would be feared by the local family in Yizhou.

Hehe, how to control the speed in the middle is really a bit embarrassing, besides, this Xu Huang is also considered a famous general in the world, if he makes a careless move, it is very likely that he will be backlashed by him. "

Sima Yi had too many things to consider. After all, the current situation was extremely unfavorable to him. At the same time, he had to make arrangements for things after entering Shu. All of these were nerve-wracking tasks.

Two days later, the spies sent by Sima Yi to Yizhou came back one after another. He also knew the attitude of the local aristocratic families in Yizhou, the leaders of the Nanman and others.

"Brother, according to your instructions, we will send name cards to the major families in Yizhou. We have given all the gifts that should be given, even Liu Zhang's wives and concubines.

At present, the aristocratic families in Yizhou have a good impression of the lord. In addition, the lord deliberately publicized that Xu Huang's purpose of training soldiers and horses is to enter Yizhou in one fell swoop, so Liu Zhang is very afraid of the enemy troops in Hanzhong and Jingnan. .

It's just that our army has too many people. If all of them enter Shu, I'm afraid they will be hated by the local family in Yizhou. Moreover, if Xu Huang really takes the opportunity to kill the border of Yizhou, some people will say that we took it The flames of war were introduced to Yizhou. "

The Sima family is indeed in decline now, but there is still some heritage left. There is not much left of Sima Bada back then. Compared with Sima Lang and Sima Yi, Sima Fu's reputation is not very loud, but his ability is by no means low .

At that time, Sima Fu and Sima Yi served under Cao Cao's command and served as the post. Because he deliberately kept a low profile, outsiders seldom noticed him, which also caused his reputation to be obscure.

But in fact, this guy is full of ability, scheming, and ruthlessness. When the Sima family was destroyed, he assisted Sima Yi to gather the Sima family's forces in the Central Plains.

Then, in the process of scheming against the Cao family and holding the emperor hostage, he kept checking and making up for the gaps in Sima Yi's plan, and implemented it himself.After taking refuge in Liu Bei, he took the lead in leading some of his strength to go south to find a new retreat for the Sima family.

When Sima Yi and Liu Bei parted ways, Sima Fu immediately opened a gap in Jingnan to welcome Sima Yi and his army into Wuling. Then, under Sima Yi's instruction, he led his people to Yizhou to serve the Sima family in Yizhou. Root and prepare.

This time, Sima Fu not only brought back news from Yizhou, but also deduced the timing of his side entering Shu.Right now, Liu Zhang really needed the Sima family to act as a thug, but he couldn't make this thug too strong.

In addition, Sima Fu inquired about the news that Liu Zhang still doesn't know Sima Yi's strength. If he is just a mediocre person, Liu Zhang probably wouldn't need him. But if he is really capable, Liu Zhang is afraid that he will not be able to control him.

Such a difficult problem was in front of them, but they had to solve it in a short time. This was quite embarrassing for Sima Yi and the others. The road to the middle of Shu was not easy.

"Hmph, although Liu Zhang is not the master of the Ming Dynasty, he is not so easy to fool. There are many talents in Yizhou, and it is not so easy to deceive them.

Moreover, they really wanted to see us fight Chen Feng. Firstly, they took the opportunity to test our strength, and secondly, they wanted to take advantage of Chen Feng to weaken our strength.

Hmph, they must have thought that as long as I don't have many troops, no matter how powerful I am, I will become a pawn in their hands. Now, we have to do what they imagined. "

The corner of Sima Yi's mouth showed a sneer, he didn't know what the calculations of those people in Yizhou were, right now he has more than 1 soldiers and horses, although it is not many, but if they all enter Shu, it must be another force ah.

"What's your opinion, brother?"

"Shu Da, you should know that in this troubled world, soldiers and horses are the capital of our lives, and we must not give up our military power just because of the threat of those people.

But right now, we really can't lead too many troops into Shu, otherwise we will definitely be rejected by the local forces, and then we will be pushed into the vortex and suffer unwarranted disasters. "

"If you don't give up your troops, how can you dispel their worries?"

"This, huh, huh, it's easy to say, it's nothing more than dividing troops. Shu Da, until now, your reputation is not prominent enough to attract too much attention. Right now, this important task can only be entrusted to you."

There are indeed many problems that Sima Yi has to face, but he has more solutions in his mind, no matter how bad his opponents are, he will resolve them one by one.

Chapter 828: Jingnan Gunpowder 1

Dividing the troops was a plan that flashed in Sima Yi's mind. It was impossible for him to voluntarily give up most of the troops and go to Shu. If he forcibly fought against Xu Huang, he would lose a lot of troops on his side.
